England's performance in Cardiff last week suggested a similar type of reaction to their 5-0 defeat in the last Ashes but they will be wary of an Australian fightback when the second Test gets underway at Lord's on 16th July.

Australian opening batsman Chris Rogers admitted that he was proud to be consistently contributing to the team, having scored seven consecutive fifties, despite missing out on a couple of hundreds in the process.

After playing the starring role on day two of the first Ashes Test in Cardiff with a half-century and two key wickets, England all-rounder Moeen Ali says his side are in the driving seat against Australia.
